Are you shocked that school bullies often become more successful than victims?

[Anonymous]

The very few cases of people bullied at school that became famous celebrities as adults are grew up very wealthy, chances are they already had an extraordinary hidden skill, talent. That skill/talent was briefly interrupted by the bullying but it was already there the whole time. They likely didn't really suffer from low social skills and the bullies were jealous.

But if someone average with little to no social skills gets bullied, then that's even worse for that person. They will become emotionally and psychologically stunt. At most, they will grow up to live an average life and form their families but rich and wealthy? Nope. Meanwhile it's really the bullies that tend to become most successful in life and get wealthy. Is this sad reality shocking to you?

I've heard that happening more often than the bullied victims advancing that far in the business world. It's like the bullies already had those dominant traits needed for higher corporate positions or for fame.

No im not shocked. Real life follows the school environment. The weak get stepped on. There are lessons especially for young adolescents becoming men such as how to get what you want, how to protect yourself, learning who not to f*ck with. People that got bullied in high-school carry that into adult life and has a negative effect in them if they never learned to stand up for themselves, it festers in them.

yeah indeed. It's sad when some Hollywood movies or Vid Chronicals videos want to play happy endings where the bullied victims goes from zero to little social skills to a very wealthy estate agent or owner of important companies, unrealistic. That would be the position for the bully and the one with little to no social skills would just live a normal life.

I was bullied as a kid and I think my life has turned out better than all of them. I know one is dead. I tried to find out about another one and he has no trace on the internet. I think he dropped out of school after 9th grade so If he is still, alive his life probably did not turn out very well.

No. They are more aggressive people and sometimes that pays off

Usually a bully is mal adjusted or he wouldn't be a bully. A bully is a thug often they're on drugs or they're narcissists. Those aren't traits that make you successful. More often you end up in prison or strung out somewhere.

Not always. There are cops and CEOs that were bullies in school. They are likely still bullies in their powerful position bue bully in other ways. For them they still play by jerarchy, trampling on whoever they consider weak.

No doubt there are psychopaths in government and industry. You'll know it when the company or country starts to fail. I've seen that. Guys like that mapped out a grid on a dry lake to drill for clay deposits. It was all layed out by a geologist. The drill crew got their instructions and completed the grid using the coordinates given. Nothing was found. Later a drill hole was found in the bottom of a depleted pit. Others were in useless arias where no clay ever flowed into the lake. It was found that these narcissists had fought over the drill hole locations and ignored the geologist entirely. Thousands of dollars went to waste and 0 clay was mined. They're stock piles were depleted. Now the mine site is closing. I can name other examples as well.

No surprise. Those psycos EASILY trample people brutally to climb up the career. With dirty tricks. But a few nerds were victims and are successful too.

Indeed. That's the sad reality. Some aggressive corporation position that requires boldness and higher levels of assertive (CEO, prosecutor, criminal defense attorney, brokers, or even politics (ex: running for president as well too), the former bullies will do well in those areas. Those position aren't for formerly shy or introverts lacking assertiveness and boldness.

No. Why would being a bully have ANY bearing on that? School is a place where people put on faces. The real world is a place where people put on a whole nother face entirely. Usually those bullies learned early on in school how to play people. That's half of what of life is. While the bullied want to keep their head down and not be seen lest the be targeted.
